Central Parking Garage

$46/day keeps you in Logan’s main garage, not on a shuttle

Central Parking Garage at BOS runs $46 per day and sits directly beside Terminals A, B, C, and E, connected by enclosed walkways. It’s the on-airport option people pick when they care more about walking 5 minutes to check-in than saving money in Economy or off-site lots. Think of it as Logan’s “pay more, touch your car faster” choice.

From Central, enclosed bridges with moving sidewalks link you to A, B, C, and E in roughly 5–10 minutes, depending on level and section. You never cross active traffic once you’re inside the structure, which is a big deal when you land at 11:30 p.m. in Terminal E and just want to walk to your car without waiting 20 minutes in the cold for a bus.

The sting is the math: at $46 daily, a 1‑night trip feels fine, but a 7‑day vacation hits $322 before any taxes or fees. Several guides point out that Massport prices Central like long‑term parking, even though it’s marketed as short stay and “convenient,” so regulars push Economy for anything over three or four days.

Massport lets you reserve Central in advance online, which saves you from the “Garage Full / reservations only” sign that pops up around school vacations and holiday weekends at Logan. FlyerTalk regulars say they still arrive early and expect to circle higher levels before finding a space when BOS is slammed.

Wayfinding is the weak spot: levels, colors, and sections can blur together after a 5‑hour flight, and it’s easy to park on the wrong side of the garage and add 10 extra minutes walking to Terminal A or B. Reddit travelers swear by taking a photo of the section marker and elevator sign before they head to security.

Practical tip: If you’re flying out of Terminal C or E on a tight schedule, reserve Central, park near the terminal-labeled elevator bank on your ticket, snap a photo of the section, and you’ll cut your curb-to-gate walk to about 5 minutes.
